Dark Lightning (A Thunder and Lightning Novel)

Known for â€œsuperior science fictionâ€ (The Philadelphia Inquirer), author John Varley returns to his Thunder and Lightning series with a novel of how one manâ€™s volatile genius could alter a starshipâ€™s epic plunge into a future where human survival is just a theoryâ€¦

On a voyage to New Earth, the starship Rolling Thunder is powered by an energy no one understands, except for its eccentric inventor Jubal Broussard. Like many of the shipâ€™s inhabitants, Jubal rests in a state of suspended animation for years at a time, asleep yet never aging.

The moments when Jubal emerges from suspended animation are usually a cause for celebration for his family, including his twin daughtersâ€”Cassie and Pollyâ€”and their uncle who is captain of the Rolling Thunder. But this time, Jubal makes a shocking announcementâ€¦

The ship must stop, or everyone will die.

These words from the missionâ€™s founder, the man responsible for the very existence of the Rolling Thunder, will send shock waves throughout the starshipâ€”and divide its passengers into those who believe and those who doubt. And it will be up to Cassie and Polly to stop a mutiny, discover the truth, and usher the ship into a new age of explorationâ€¦
